Does Problem Child 2 have the laziest casting of all-time?

[En Sabah Nur]

John Ritter separated from his wife by the end of the first movie, then they bring in the same actress back as a different character in the second one....who he ends up being with at the end of that one

Was she in the first one?!? it's been so long since I seen the original.

 

[Wargames]

Was Ritter bagging her?

 

[ORDER_66]

Was Ritter bagging her?

Yeah he was married to her irl...

Good point OP.

They had to be easy on the budget

Still was one of my favorites to watch growing up

 

[Wargames]

The studio is paying his family twice

That shyt fukked me up as a kid. I legit couldn’t understand why the wife was playing a different character. I remember asking my dad and he was just like

Ritter was married to someone else at the time and didn’t marry the Problem Child actress until 1999

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Never noticed.

I never noticed this and I've seen both at least 100 times each over the years. No exaggeration. Only tapes I had and we didn't have cable at times

I never realized this . Was fan of Ritter and those movies as a kid so it likely didnt register for me.

 

[FaTaL]

I noticed but I didn’t care, that little fuk was hilarious
